STATEMENT OF WORK Development of Approaches To An FIN: B2453 CONTRACTOR: PNL PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Richard Widrig SITE: Richland STATE: Washington FY 1982 Program Obligation, $75K 1.0 Background Item I.A.3.3, "Requirements for Operator Fitness," in NUREG-0660, "NRC FY 1982 work (nine months) will involve systematic development of 2 This research project recognizes the potential for development of alcohol-drug observation/assistance programs for plant personnel with unescorted access to protected areas following the initial screening/ hiring process. The research extends current nuclear industry practices in two ways: first, it acknowledges the importance of continued monitoring for alcohol-drug abuse effects on job performance beyond screening at the point of employment; and second, it extends the target group of employees involved to all management and staff personnel with unescorted plant access to protected areas. 2.0 Work Required The contractor will furnish personnel, material, equipment, facilities and services to perform the work described below, over a period of nine months. Task 1. Develop a detailed plan for accomplishing the objective of the project. The plan will include, but not be limited to, methodologies, data sampling requirements and schedules for: analyzing nuclear utility alcohol-drug use history and trends; for conducting systematic reviews of the alcohol-drugs scientific literature and related military/industrial alcohol-drug programs; and for developing employee observation/assistance program approaches based on earlier project findings. This project plan will be delivered to the NRC for review/concurrence approximately one month after contract award. Subtask 1.a. Meet with Battelle team to develop direction for plan; meet with NRC Project Representative for input on plan development. Subtask 1.b. Develop and deliver draft plan for NRC review; identify activity sequence for meeting planned objectives, determine staff loadings to achieve work within budget and time lines, and establish milestones to monitor progress. Task 2. Catalogue, through analyses of actuarial data, case histories, Upon completion of these analyses, a short interim report (20-30 pages) will be prepared which: presents actuarial, case history and testimonial data; and discusses the nuclear utility alcohol-drug problem (magnitude, nature, trends) and its implication(s) for the future. This task will be completed approximately five months after contract award. Task 3. Review relevant scientific literature on the impairing effects 3 Conduct a comparative analysis of these impairment data and performance requirements attendant in nuclear power plant operations (e.g., monitoring, information assimilation, decision making, communicating, motor responding). Relate comparative analysis findings, where feasible, to alcohol-drug problem factors established under Task 2 (e.g., offender demographics, job setting, performance requirements). The purpose of this sub-task is to associate in a systematic way alcohol-drug impairing effects with nuclear power plant performance requirements. Prepare a formal briefing of Task 2 and 3 findings for presentation to A technical report will also be prepared as part of this task. The report will describe work accomplished under Tasks 1, 2, and 3, will include Task 3 briefing materials, and will make recommendations for accomplishing FY 1983 work (comparative analysis of nuclear utility and related organization alcohol-drug programs, and nuclear utility alcohol-drug observation/assistance program approaches development). It is anticipated that Task 3 work will be conducted in parallel with Task 2 and will be completed approximately nine months after contract award. 3.0 Reporting Requirements Monthly reports of technical progress and costs will be prepared and distributed within RES, NRR and IE. Three documents (i.e., project plan, one short interim report, final technical report) will be prepared under Tasks 1, 2, and 3 respectively. A formal project briefing will be presented at the end of Task 3. 3.1 Monthly Letter Status Reports Each month the contractor will submit a letter status report which summarizes: technical work accomplished during the previous month, plans for the coming month, personnel time expenditures and funds expended during the previous month. The first monthly letter status report after contract award will include planned monthly rate of expenditures for the fiscal year, if not provided in the proposal and will include any changes to prior schedules or estimated costs. Other estimates in the proposal will be corrected at this time to reflect authorized levels. Exception: for consultants the frequency should be consistant with activity level; i.e., report only if activity occurs. 3.2 Interim and Final Project Plans and Technical Reports Three project documents will be prepared. A plan to guide project work will be delivered to the NRC for review/concurrence approximately one month after contract award. A short interim technical report (20-30 pages) will be prepared under Task 2. The report will summarize project the NRC for review/concurrence approximately seven months after contract 3.3 Project Presentations A formal project briefing will be presented to RES, NRR, IE, and others as 3.4 Environmental Impact Statement None required. 3.5 Subcontractor Information Staff from Battelle's Human Affairs Research Centers (HARC) in Seattle, 4.0 Meetings and Travel No foreign travel is currently anticipated. Travel is expected to the 5.0 NRC Furnished Materia's None required. 6.0 Period of Performance July 1982 through March 1983. 7.0 Technical Direction Project Manager is Thomas G. Ryan, Human Factors Branch, Division of 8.0 Disposal of Property Not Applicable. |
